You have just a few days to buy Southwest Rapid Rewards points and get 35 percent more points.

You must purchase at least 2,000 points at the cost of $55. With the bonus, the total points for $55 is 2,700. The most you can buy is 60,000 points for $1,650, receiving 71,000 points during this promotion.

Purchased points are nonrefundable, nonreversible and will post within 72 hours.

INSIDE|Point: Buying points is usually of questionable value, but if you are a few points short of an award, having to pay less for the points is always a plus. Because it can take up to 72 hours for the points to show up in your Rapid Rewards account, keep that in mind when planning to book your award flight. And because Rapid Rewards is a revenue-based frequent flyer program, your award flight cost can vary quite a lot depending on when you book.

“Our intention was never to launch a website, our intention was to build a global brand for frequent flyers.”

InsideFlyer was created by travelers, for travelers. Here you can discover and share your experiences related to travel and frequent flyer programs with business travelers, leisure travelers, infrequent flyers and road warriors alike.

InsideFlyer is a privately funded venture based in Colorado Springs, CO (affectionally—the House of Miles). We’re a small diverse group of experienced frequent flyer experts, travel community builders, technologists, and friends of the flyer who want to help you learn to be an expert traveler. We believe that learning about frequent flyer miles should be as fun as travel itself.
